I have always grown up with pets and am very comfortable with any and all! I adore dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I am willing to care for pets at my own house or at yours. I would love and care for them as if they were my own :)
Hi I am Emily, I am 23, and recently moved to Pequot Lakes.
I grew up with 3 dogs, currently own 3 cats, and I worked at an animal shelter for 1 year where my job was to walk dogs, feed all the animals, and keep the facility clean for the animals.
I am comfortable with all pets, and I'd love to care for yours!
